For today’s post I wanted to share with you a fantastic room that has me mesmerized. It’s small, it’s elegant and incredibly cozy, totally my kind of space.?Working with the challenges of limited space, awkward corners or strangely positioned windows has its rewards because what smaller rooms lack in space, they can more than make up for in atmosphere and charm. I’ve always loved cozy, diminutive rooms that are cleverly designed so that they don’t sacrifice beauty over function and such is the case of this sophisticated London bedroom designed by Michael S Smith that I wanted to show you today.

…although this could easily be “room of the decade” as far as I’m concerned! Lately I’ve been studying the work of designer Michael S. Smith and found an old issue of House Beautiful filled with inspiration. The April 2009 issue to be exact. The cover shot is a bedroom designed by Smith, a stunning space that I’ve loved for years, part of a Santa Monica house designed for movie producer Donna Roth.
